Art Garfunkel - Incredible Phat Lyrics
On the coldest night of the yearAt a pub called, "The Elephant's Ear"Incredible Phat, the Inn Keeper's catWas having a saucer of beerWith fourteen merry gentlemenOn the coldest night of the yearAs the hour of eleven drew nearSome poor stranger in rags did appearAt the door of the Inn-Face weary and thin-To ask, "Is there any room here?"But the owner just laughed and said,"My friend, it's the coldest night of the year."We've a sheikh with three wives,And a moneylender.A taxman, a soldier, and a harness menderThree balmy old coots in silver boots-Two are stargazers and the other's a seer."Out into the night crystal clearThe stranger went hiding a tearAnd Incredible Phat, the Inn Keeper's cat,Followed and saw standing nearA donkey bearing a pale, sweet girlThrough the coldest night of the year.While the barmaid, the priest and the diplomatBought one last round for the acrobatAnd a spy with no chin, who had also come inFrom the cold, with Harod's surly charioteer.But Phat said, "Friends be of good cheer!For I know of a shelter that's near.And he lead them out back to a tumbled down shackWhere the Inn Keeper's wife kept her steer.And he said, 'It's the warmest place in townOn the coldest night of the year.Yes he said, "It's the warmest place in town...On the coldest night of the year."
